Ava Impact Report
City of Hayward | May 19, 2026
2 Ava’s inaugural Impact Report:
• For city councils, municipal partners, and other
policy makers
• Provides background information about Ava and
key achievements since starting service in 2018
Introduction
Howard Chang
Chief Executive Officer
Ava Community Energy
Ava Community Energy (Ava) is the local
community choice power supplier and default
provider of electricity generation service for
all customers in our service territory. We
started service in 2018, with Hayward as a
founding member. In total we have 18
members in our joint power authority.
As a not-for-profit public agency, Ava reinvests
revenue back into the community through
local programs, clean power projects, and
support for community organizations.

What is a Community Choice Aggregator (CCA)?
4 What is a Community Choice Aggregator (CCA)?
Investor-Owned Utilities
(IOUs)
● Privately run
● For profit (i.e., shareholders)
● Rates require CPUC approval
● Example: Pacific Gas and
Electric Company (PG&E)
provides gas & electricity to
Northern/Central CA
Publicly Owned Utilities
(POUs)
● Government-run
● Not-for-profit
● Rates require Board approval
● Example: Alameda Municipal
Power provides electricity to
the City of Alameda
Local Public Agencies:
● Government-run
● Not-for-profit
● Rates require Board approval
● Examples:
AC Transit provides public
transit in Alameda County
East Bay Municipal Utility
District (EBMUD) provides
water for parts of the county
All one thing in common: no choice. CCAs are not-for-profit public agencies that offer communities another energy option and more local control
How It Works
5 There are two components to electricity service that
customers pay for:
Ava only provides electricity generation. PG&E owns the transmission infrastructure and meters in our service area, so they handle delivery and billing. Before Ava, PG&E was the only option for electricity generation.

7 Average Generation Rates Over Time
• Generation costs are ~ ⅓ of
customers’ total electricity bills.
• Generation rates are based on
market conditions and indexed
to PG&E rates to preserve our
value proposition.
• When rates are high, the Bright
Choice discount increases;
when rates are low, the Bright
Choice discount decreases.
• PCIA is an “exit fee” from PG&E.
Ava’s rates incorporate the PCIA
so that it doesn’t negatively
impact customers.
